12noon - 12.30pm
29 August
Outside Federal Court
Crn Latrobe & William Sts

On 5 July 2006, the Australian Building Construction Commission [ABCC] started legal action in the Federal Court against 107 construction workers on the Perth to
Mandurah rail project.

The power-drunk Howard Government is trying to use its unfair new work laws to crush 107 WA CFMEU members and their families. These proud WA unionists now face fines of $28,600 each. Even worse, the WA107 and their families now risk losing their homes because of crippling legal bills that could add up to millions of dollars.

On 29 August, their fight for justice will go to the Federal Court, and they need our support and help then and now.

When standing up for your workmates becomes a crime…
The WA107 became the target for this unjust legal attack after they stood by their mate, CFMEU Shop Steward Peter Ballard. Peter was sacked after raising a string of safety problems on the rail line site. A safety rep, Mal Peters, took annual leave with his family and went on a tour speaking about the WA107. He was sacked on his return.
